Not only does Heidi-Mari like ballet and ballet costumes, she also likes pretty, feminine dresses. Since you only get hipsters and skirts and no dresses in the shops, I had to learn how to make dresses. Last year I did a few basic dressmaking courses and started experimenting with different textures, styles and patterns.
Once a year I visit sewingpatterns on the internet, preferably when they have an end of season sale, and order my patterns directly from them. This year I decided to try to make some pyjamas and doll clothes for Danika’s dolls.
As soon as I received the patterns from overseas, I couldn’t wait to start cutting the fabric. But I had to restrain myself during the week and work only on weekends. Since I have really come to enjoy making clothes, it was very difficult.
Last week I finished Heidi-Mari's pyjamas! Just in time for her visit with Daddy to Durban. I also made for Danika. Look how beautiful my two girls look in their pyjamas.

Oe, Linnie...
Jy sien kans vir so baie!
Op skool was die naaldwerkjuffrou te dankbaar toe ek st 7 die vak los. In matriek het ek 'n QuickStitch kursus van Bernina gevolg en myself totaal verloor - heerlik.
Maar Leticia verkies weer die hipsters en "boys look" - tot ma se verdriet. En sy weier volstrek om enigiets wat ek gemaak het aan te trek. Persoonlik sien ek nie kans vir krae en knoopsgate nie - dus maak ek ook nie vir die seuns klere nie.
Maar die lus takel my dikwels - dalk moet ek net soos jy, voet neersit en doen.
Liefde
